Is there currently much motivation for a given researcher to keep the data online somewhere after the paper is out? Who would handle the hosting? Have you had any luck emailing the author of the paper?

Straying a bit from the original topic: For amazon price tracking I've used this and it's pretty good: http://camelcamelcamel.com/ (They apparently cover some other retailers too.)

Patches welcome. Also, keep in mind that Apple themselves adopt existing open source projects for their own use. There's no reason a similar relationship couldn't exist here. And the hobbyist crowd they're currently targeting are unlikely t

I've never really understood tablets. I'm of the opinion that if I was going to carry around something too big to fit in a pocket, I might as well just make that thing a laptop.

For everyone's complaints about Microsoft back in the day, at least they didn't also control the hardware.

Yeah, apparently they're going to have it for imap, but I'm hoping they include gtalk in there too.

It'd be nice they allowed secondary passwords for eg google talk. I don't much care for having to hand out my full credentials just to use things like bitlbee/meebo.

Looks like it's currently broken. The article says "You can activate it by hitting the ‘two-step verification’ link on this page[1].", but it's definitely not there. However, if you go into "Authorizing applications & sites" it has a wa

It doesn't communicate growth -- there is nothing to compare against. If you were going to do that, you'd simply provide a something like YOY% change in revenue. A run rate is just inflating/fabricating PAST revenue by speculating on the FU

Using that math, I've already 'earned' many millions in my lifetime, even though I've only been out of college for a couple years. And that number gets even more exaggerated if I choose to base the calculation off a month where I got a bonu

Mashable's own article says the $800M is a "run rate" number. It's really Enron-style accounting: "Run rate is a tricky number, though. It’s a projection of what the company would make if you extrapolate from its most recent revenue numbers

It hurts your ability to rebalance efficiently, and makes things more complicated than is necessary. Additionally, if you're at a fund company with different share classes based on balance, you also get higher expenses by dividing things up

If you find stock trading interesting, you could also allocate a portion of your money as "play money", then leave the rest in funds. Also, you'd probably want to go with a more broad-based index than DJIA or S&P500. Many fund companies

You should look at something more along the lines of rdiff-backup (or whatever's fashionable these days) for that. Using git would be pretty pointless, unless you're going to be frequently branching and merging against your mp3s or somethin

"Measured in constant dollars, America’s manufacturing output today is more than double what it was in the early 1970s." What's a 'constant dollar'? Is that nominal or inflation-adjusted? Over that timespan the two could mean very different

I keep some cash for small purchases and tend to use it for local/small retailers/restaurants. I know how much it costs the store when I use plastic. I also like that my 'balance' visibly goes down when I use cash. However, I also don't spe
